From 6993fc5bbc5d63ccd55985b39c34417e430e75e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:30:02 +0100 Subject: clocksource: make clocksource watchdog cycle through online CPUs This way it checks if the clocks are synchronized between CPUs too. This might be able to detect slowly drifting TSCs which only go wrong over longer time.
